' Graduating seniors Irving Fryar,
Turner Gill and Mil.o Rozier have left
behind a legend and a. legacy that
Stelly
Nebraska will remember for a long
time to come.
For thlj tc.!cnted trio, life ha3 truly
just bejun. Each will inevitably sign
multi-minion dollar contracts and con
tribute to some professional sports
team. In llht cf this success, both past
and future, this piece is written to pro
vide some social and political insight
as to hov these three great black men
can help to make the black community
even greater.
The incomparable Turner Gill has
had the sort cf athletic career of which
dreams are made. In his first start
against Colorado, the two-time All-Big
Eight quarterback set a school record,
tossing four touchdown passes. Besides
being this year's team co-captain and
the most valuable player cf the 1033
Orange Bowl, Gill amassed another
amazing statistic: the Husto r
games and lost only two when he
started as quarterback. Not too shabby.
However, his courage and persever
ance transcended throwing and run
ning for touchdowns. What about the
comeback he made after being injured
in the 1081 game against Iowa State?
What about his comeback after the
shot" he took from Missouri's Randy
Jostcs in 1082? Such determination is
the mark of a true champion, and this
kind of intestinal fortitude will enable
Gill to sign a big-money contract, either
m professional baseball or football (if
there is a team willing to start a black
man at quarterback).
Then there is Irving Fryar, who some
know as "Whiff." The senior wingback
from Mount Holly, NJ., garnered All
American honors and i3 a sure bet to
"turn it out" once he reaches the pro
fessional ranks.
Even with his individual athletic
ability, Fryar still heeded those around
hniuvho cared enough to lend a help
ing hand. Two such individuals, team
mate Ricky Simmons and .assistant
Coach Frank Solich helped keep the
energetic superstar in line and enabled
him to overcome homesickness. The
young man who once ran with the G
Town Gang (the "G" stands for ghetto)
has promised that he will come back to
Nebraska to make sure that his host
family remembers him.
Finally, Mike Rozier. Comedian Bob
Hope prophetically said Rozier was

"Heisman spelled backwards." Having
collected' more trophies and plaques
than a backstrect pawn shop, Rozier
recently signed with the Pittsburgh
Maulers of the USFL for $3 million,
with a third of it "up front."
A very team-oriented individual (like
Gill and Fryar), Rozier's interest in
those less fortunate can be seen In his
concern for disadvantaged and handi
capped children. Rozier wasn't too big
a superstar to give a towel to a 7-year-old
fan from Carter Lake, Iowa, after
the lluskers dogged Syracuse, 63-7.
These three athletes have paid their
dues and are now on their way to reap
ing the kind of financial benefits that
befall individuals with their kind of
talent. However, in case they are in
search of direction or potential tax
shelters, let me offer the following:
In the first place, all three are fortu
nate enough to come from strong,
supportive family backgrounds.
Regardless of this, however, a basic
fact for all three to accept Is that they
are from black communities. Not neces
sarily ghettos but black communi
ties nonetheless, in light of this, pro
fessed concern for the disadvantaged
should begin right in their own back
yard. What could be a bigger disadvan
tage than growing up in a society
where mere skin pigmentation can
label you for life? Therefore, one area
that certainly needs attention is the
context to which these three owe their
existence in this case, the black
community.
